@Epiclark I know, I would have paid attention to that, but what ever.
The speed of sound through solids is significantly higher than that of gas.
@slasher98 It travels at the speed of sound through the air. I should've elaborated, but I ran out of signs.
Forgot that sound travels through the ground as well. That's usually felt before the shockwave.
@powderskye Alliteration is very repetitive. Repetition is repetitive!
Use a wall of PLNT or COAL, some METL in front of it and NEUT as radiation. The PLNT/COAL become WOOD when hit by NEUT, but the METL will reflect them.
Thank you, kerponaut, I am too lazy. The shadow is just everything not obstructed and directly, is basically extremely sunfaded. If it is close enough to detonation, the bits directly exposed are actually charred or burned. Say something in the way, like a newspaper, would block the thermal radiation (until something happens to it, like it combusts,) and everything around it is charred or extremely sunfaded exept where the news paper blocked the thermal radiation, which leaves a "shadow."
a way to simulate "nuclear shadows"??? Kerponaut AWAYYYYY!!!!
